2.  The  highest  bidder  to  be  the  buyer ;  in  all  cases  of  disputed 
bids  the  lot  shall  be  resold,  but  the  Auctioneer  will  use  his 
judgment  as  to  the  good  faith  of  all  claims  and  his  decision  shall 
be  final. 

3.  Buyers  to  give  their  names  and  addresses  and  to  make 
such  cash  payments  on  account  as  may  be  required,  in  default 
of  which  the  lots  purchased  to  be  immediately  resold. 

4.  Goods  bought  to  be  removed  at  the  close  of  each  sale.  If 
not  so  removed  they  will  be  at  the  sole  risk  of  the  purchaser

stolen,  damaged  or  destroyed. 

5.  Terms  Cash.  If  accounts  are  not  paid  at  the  con-

the  goods  for  immediate  sale  without  notice  to  the  defaulting 
buyer,  and  all  costs  of  such  resale  will  be  charged  to  the  defaulter. 
This  condition  is  without  prejudice  to  the  rights  of  the  Company 
to  enforce  the  sale  contract  and  collect  the  amount  due  without 
such  resale  at  its  own  option.

7.  Sids.  We  make  no  charge  for  executing  orders  for  our 
customers.  We  use  all  bids  competitively  and  buy  at  the  lowest 
price  permitted  by  other  bids.

[Nuremberg,  1491] 
Although  the  volume  bears  no  statement  as  to  the  printer, 
there  can  be  little  doubt  that  it  was  printed  by  Caspar  Hoch- 
feder  at  Nurnberg.  It  is  printed  in  the  earliest  form  of  type 
used  by  him,  and  as  he  commenced  printing  in  1491,  it  was 
)robably  issued  about  that  date.  An  interesting  example  of  an 
|arly  Bible,  and  very  rare.

^^^  THOMAS  CARLYLE 


/ 


WITH 

His  Publishers, 

Chapman  &  Hall, 

1840-68. 


1.  Carlyle.  Autograph  letter  signed,  asking  Mr.  Chap- 
man to  use  his  influence  on  behalf  of  Mr.  Garnier,  a 
French  Exile  who  proposed  to  deliver  a  series  of 
Lectures  in  England,  and  also  about  the  Lectures 
Carlyle  himself  was  then  delivering.  *' There  seems 
to  be  one  or  two  reporters  doing  daily  there  utmost. 
Eraser  has  engaged  one  whose  complete  copy  of  the 
First  Lecture  I  have  not  got  and  read.  It  will  do 
nothing  for  printing,  it  is  like  the  soda-water  with 
the  glass  out  of  it.  Yet  I  think  it  seems  nearly  made 
out  with  me  that  in  some  way  or  other  I  am  to  write 
out  these  lectures  myself,  if  not  what  was  said  yet 
what  might  or  should  have  been  said,"  etc.  Also 
mentions  his  Miscellanies,  etc.  4  pp.  Svo.  Chel- 
sea, 1840. 

Refers  to  his  most  celebrated  Lecture,   "  Heroes  and  Hero- 

WORSHIP." 

Carlyle.  Autograph  letter  signed  relating  to  his 
"■  Cromvtell."  Thanks  for  the  ray  of  light  you 
have  thrown  over  that  dreary  labyrinth  of  a  moulder- 
ing Necropolis  named  '*  Record  Office."  How  to 
turn  those  parchments  to  account,  if  not  by  making 
glue  of  them,  seems  to  be  a  problem  at  present,"  etc., 
etc.     8vo.     Chelsea,  1843.

3.  Carlyle.     Autograph  letter  signed,  also  in  regard  to 

Cromwell.  "  Leaving  aside  the  question  of  subsi- 
dies I  am  again  in  a  little  antiquarian  dubiety,  from 
which  it  lies  a  little  more  in  your  department  to 
deliver  me.  Noble  in  his  very  stupid  Memoirs  of  the 
Cromwell  Family,  acquaints  us  with  the  interesting 
fact,  if  it  be  one,  that  Oliver  the  Protector  was  a 
member  of  Charles  first  Parliament  1625  for  the 
Borough  of  Huntingdon.  Noble  I  have  found  too 
often  to  be  an  ass,  to  trust  him  in  this  matter.  I  have 
tried  Willis's  Notitia  Parliamentaria  and  find  Noble 
indeed  to  be  wrong,  but  perhaps  Willis  himself  to  be 
wrong  also,  and  the  whole  matter  involved  in  suitable 
chiaroscure,"  etc.,  etc.  4  pp.  4to.  Chelsea,  1844. 
An  exceptionally  fine,  full  and  interesting  Literary  Letter. 

4.  Carlyle.     Autograph  Memorandum  signed,  addressed 

to  the  Head  Clerk  of  Messrs.  Chapman  &  Hall.  "  To 
send  by  the  first  opportunity  to  J.  Harland  a  copy 
of  the  Supplement  of  the  First  Edition  of  Cromwell" 
— the  "  first  opportunity  please,"  T.  Carlyle.  1  page, 
8vo.     Chelsea,  1851. 

5.  Carlyle.     Autograph  letter  signed,  to  Mr.  Warren  of 

Chapman  &  Hall,  sending  list  of  books  he  required 
for  the  use  on  his  Frederick  the  Great.  "  If  Mr. 
Warren  will  take  pains  he  may  do  me  a  valuable  ser- 
vice. I  recommend  myself  to  his  loyalty  and  energy," 
etc.     1  page,  8vo.     Chelsea,  1853. 

6.  Carlyle.    Autographletter  signed,  thanking  Mr.  War- 

ren for  sending  him  "  La  Saxe  Galante,"  Mirabeau's

History  of  Frederick  the  Great,  and  other  books. 
2  pp.  8vo.     Chelsea,   1853. 

7.  Carlyle.   Autograph  Memorandum  signed,  asking  Mr. 

Warren  to  send  copies  of  his  French  Revolution

arranging  for  an  Autograph  Copy  of  Cromwell  to 
be  sent  to  David  Lang.     2  pp.  4to.     Chelsea,  1857. 

8.  Carlyle.     Autograph  note  signed,  addressed  to  Mr. 

Chapman  or  Mr.  Warren,  asking  for  two  Copies  of 
Cromw^ell  to  be  sent  to  Canada  and  one  copy  for  the 
"  Belgrave  Square  Quarter."     12mo.    Chelsea,  1858. 

9.  Carlyle.     Autograph  note  signed  regarding  a  letter 

of  Cromwell's,  "  Mr.  Puttick  ought  to  know  that  the 
letter  has  been  published  nearly  100  years  and  stands 
in  C.  's  letters  and  speeches  (all  the  Editions)  at  the 
proper  date,  with  indications  in  whose  hands  it  was 
when  last  heard  of.  *'  If  the  American  Minister  is  a 
literary  man  he  ought  to  be  a  bidder  for  it."  1  page, 
8vo.     (Chelsea,  1858.)

13.  Carlyle.  Autograph  letter  signed  to  Mr.  Warren  of 
Chapman  &  Hall,  regarding  Frederick  the  Great,  '*I 
also  want  to  see,  in  good  time,  directly  if  there  is  no 
reason  for  delay,  the  Engraver  of  Frontispiece  to 
Vol.  II.  His  picture  appears  to  a  disgrace  to  human 
nature,  in  its  present  state  it  is  a  pretty  exact  Por- 
trait of  the  Clothes  in  his  original,  and  as  to  the 
man,  no  more  like  him  than  it  is  to  the  Emperor  of 
Japan — an  engraving  calculated  to  please  an  ex- 
tremely juvenile  class  of  mortals.  Pray  send  him 
and  let  us  see  if  we  cannot  put  some  slight  feature  of 
Frederick  Wilhelm  into  it."  2  pp.  4to.  Chelsea, 
1858. 

14.  Carlyle.  Autograph  letter  signed,  addressed  to

an  Admirer  of  the  Author's  regarding  some  verses 
written  by  Carlyle  on  the  occasion  of  his  wife's 
death.  Written  in  Carlyle's  usual  sarcastic  style  to 
the  effect  that  the  lines  had  been  suppressed  but 
could  be  found  in  the  First  Edition  of  Vol.  3  of  his 
Miscellanies.  1868.  Folio,  full  blue  levant  extra.

This  fine  series  of  15  autographs,  mostly  in  relation 
TO  his  greatest  works,  is  accompanied  by  a  manuscript 
summary  chronologically  arranged  of  the  principle 
events  of  Carlyle's  life,  lists  of  his  works  and  other 
interesting  memoranda.  The  manuscript  was  neatly  writ- 
ten BY  one  of  Carlyle's  friends  J.  O.  Westley,  who  has 

ADDED  to  its  ALREADY  GREAT  INTEREST  BY  ENCLOSING  UNDER 
A  GLASS  SOME  OF  CaRLYLE'S  HAIR  GIVEN  HIM  BY  A  DUMFRIES 
HAIR  CUTTTER,  AND  ANOTHER  AUTOGRAPH  RELATING  TO  SOME 
VERSES  WRITTEN  BY  CaRLYLE  AND  WRONGLY  SUPPOSED  TO 
HAVE  BEEN   OCCASIONED  BY   THE  LOSS   OF  HIS  WIFE.

terous  and  Contradictory  Observations  on  the  Life 
and  Actions  of  the  late  King  Charles.  Published  by 
William  Lilly  in  July,  1651. 

(6)  Observations  upon  the  Inconveniences  that  have  at- 
tended the  frequent  promotions  to  Titles  of  Honor

of  England. 

(7)  Observations  upon  the  Annals  published  by  H.  L., 
Esq. ,  of  the  Reigne  of  King  Charles. 

Each  chapter  is  prefaced  by  a  special  dedicatory  state- 
ment, and  in  the  contents  are  also  given  an  account  of  the 
occasions  at  which  each  piece  was  written.  The  author 
states  that  his  work  was  revised  in  part  by  King  Charles 
himself.
